I think it's about the self employed. Their NI is going up 2%, so at some point, maybe that £16,250, the extra NI will be greater than the tax threshold increase.
But then again I could be wrong.

Do you want someone who believes an alternate reality designing your medical plan?

LOL, the Turks and international diplomacy. Of course the first thing you then say is that the other party are nazi's, fascists and that if one does not what you want them to do that you'll hit them with sanctions and closure of embassies and consulates. Yes, thumbs up Erdogan! Your international diplomacy needs totally no changes of policy.

Sad.

Everyone is so scared for Geert, but if you're just here and following all the news you would've known that Geert isn't one for ruling, but always the Opposition. Going towards the elections, he'll say a couple of things that most of his followers don't like, or he'll block a lot of them on Twitter. This automatically makes his party less 'wanted' in the polls, it'll drop from its high to bad and worse and even below that of the present liberals. - But then, who trusts polls after the Trump disaster?

We'll know next week who has won the elections, and if it is the PVV even then he won't rule. Not unless he manages to solely get 76 seats, which he won't.

Been following but as you say, Trump & Brexit ruined the pollsters.

I suppose that American saying comes into effect: It's not over until the fat lady sings :-)

Meanwhile, on that spittoon floating between 2 continents:

Yeah, right.

It always amazes me...
China and the USA are about the same dimension East to West, China has only one time zone, but the USA (excluding those bits cast adrift in the Pacific, or way up in the frozen North) has four (or is it 5?).


And Europe, which smaller than either, has at least 5!!!!!

Little wonder that those of who's job takes us around the world can get very confused as to what the time is....

China is a dictatorship, they do as they are told. Europe has too many tin pot little countries. Stick with GMT it's the onlty time that makes sense.
But GMT wobbles all over why it was thrown out in favor of UTC.

Erdogan slams Dutch over Srebrenica
Probably time this guy bought a real history book, not the one with alternative facts and seen through those pink glasses that he's wearing.

Of course, according to the same dickwad we're already Nazi remnants & fascists, so a bit of Muslim killing is right up our alley.
On top of that, the Turkish Parliament Speaker compared Dutch PM Mark Rutte to Hitler, Franco & Mussolini.
Then Erdogan told 'foreigners, Turks and Muslims in The Netherlands' not to vote for the VVD or the PVV tomorrow in our elections. Anyone saying something about Turkish politics or elections gets him and his cronies over them demanding that they stay out of their country's politics.
